That's my unfinished entery for the Weekly Competition: Rainy Day.
 I am not sure how to finish it though..
 How can I make the water around the hand?
How should I make the background?
Thanks,
Collected

Maybe show the horizon some in the background from that angle. But with greyscale that could be harder to seperate foreground from background. -------------

Hello Collected, That is looking quite impressive. It could have been an image from one of my dreams.  Actually I dreamt of a hand out of water before, but the water was ice! A few suggestions: The tip of the fingers are usually getting the most of the light. The four fingers are not the same size! The thumb base is thicker. For the water around the hand I have found a good example: http://www1.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/2138515/2/istockphoto_2138515_help_i_am_drowning.jpg - http://www1.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/2138515/2/istockphoto_2138515_help_i_am_drowning.jpg Looking very much forward to your updates!

Thank you for the advice! It really helped me..
I have that so far, I tried to make a thunderstorm, but it's too light to see.. I will try to change the colours, but please give me so more advice so it would look better.
 Thank you,
Collected.
UPDATE:
 It's raining R-A-I-N! ~ Read it!
Thank you,
Collected.

Hello Collected,
The shine on the water is not really working.
It looks like the hand emits light.
Make circles of water around the base of the
hand. Not perfect continous circles but an
indication of action.
Or you could use your first waterscene you
had posted because I like that better than the
last version.
The water looks way to noisy. Try to find litle
waves in the water and give it more attention.
Take a look at reference pictures where you
have rain on water. There are circles all over
the place.
I don't like the rain words you have. But it is a nice idea.
Maybe you work on the middle sized word. Try breaking
up the characters so that it has a little angle.
Now it is too straight.
Best regards from
